Definitely not one of Mel’s better attacking matches. This Brazilian duo is giving her all sorts of trouble with their incredible defence and even lots of Carol blocks.

What looked like a comfortable second set victory is now too close for comfort due to unforced errors and inability to terminate by Mel.

Pavs misses the open court with a pokey on match point. Hawkeye challenge confirms it’s out 😖.

Goodness me what a match! Wish the camera feed wasn’t boggled for most of the first set. MHPavs onto the semis against Dudatha.

Good thing Canada pulled it off! That would have been 3 Brazilian teams in the semi-finals!

What looked like a comfortable second set victory is now too close for comfort due to unforced errors and inability to terminate by Mel. I couldn’t tell if it was intentional or not but when Sarah set Mel in the middle she couldn’t put it away but she was much more effective when the set was pushed out toward the pin. Sarah was really aggressive and dominant at the net though. Best I’ve seen her play in awhile.

Best I’ve seen her play in awhile. We even got a classic, patented Pavs stare down through the net after she roofed Carol at the tail end of the first set 😳. Yup she was locked-in for sure this match!

The duo of Carol and Barbara together are a joy to watch, and I was excited right when I learned of their team-up. Wish they had made the decision years ago.

I need to go back and watch how Bransley got completely dismantled by Ana Patricia and Rebecca in the second set. Was really wanting to watch Bransley vs. the Latvians.

Bnasley/Wilkerson have lost the last two matches vs. Tina (Haiyang Olympic qualifier and Sochi). I would expect the same. Rebecca will be more challenging. The Latvians have had less success with Brazil's top teams.
